Bill Self and his No. 8-ranked Kansas Jayhawks (16-3, 3-1) are coming off a disappointing loss to Texas Tech. With their only loss in conference play in four games, the Jayhawks are already faced with a make it or break game, as they travel to Waco, Texas to take on the Baylor Bears (11-7, 1-4). For Kansas, the time is now to show their medal as a team. Talented players like Brandon Rush will need to step up and take care of business if the Jayhawks are to be considered a legitimate threat come March.

With only three losses on the season, it's hard to really say the Jayhawks are slumping, especially since they have won 9 of their last 10 games.
